Info

German type approval ("ABE)" allows the accessory concerned to be used on the vehicle models listed in the test report. Here it is the type abbreviation and not the maker's designation that is important for identifying the vehicle. The test report must be kept with the vehicle and shown on request if you are stopped at a roadside check or at the regular safety inspection at the TÜV test centre.Accessories with ABE type approval do not have to be entered in the vehicle registration documents. To avoid always having to always take the test report with you, you can have a relevant entry made by TÜV (subject to a charge).If you wish to use an accessory on a vehicle not listed in the type approval, TÜV inspection is necessary. Although ABE type approval confirms the proper installation and safety of the product, it is the inspector who has to decide according to his technical expertise whether it is suitable for use on the vehicle.

Manufacturer details: TRW Lucas

Quality and know-how from the inventor of the disc brake: In 1952, the British firm Lucas launched the first disc brake system and succeeded in setting the standard for vehicle brakes to this day. The American technology company TRW built Pioneer 1, the first satellite to be launched into space by NASA in 1958. Today, TRW-Lucas is the market leader in Germany for brake pads and steel-braided brake lines. They also produce brake discs, clutch sets and chassis components. Multiple test wins in the trade press are convincing proof that you can rely on safety made by TRW-Lucas.

In its 5-2017 issue, "Motorrad News" magazine tested eight brake pads on the Kawasaki Z650. Lucas Sintered Metal Brake Pads (together with one competitor) was awarded a "MOTORRAD NEWS RECOMMENDATION". The following features were given special mention:

- Very good controllability of braking force, very good response- Moderate hand force- Minimal fade- Very short braking distance- Very long life- Good value for money

Issue 3-2016

In its 23-2016 issue, MO magazine tested Lucas TRW Sinter Brake Pads on the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 and awarded them an MO BEST BUY recommendation. Special mention was given to the noticeably stronger braking performance and lower price compared to the original brake pads.

Issue 6-2014

In its 6/2014 issue, "Motorradfahrer" magazine tested a variety of accessories on the Suzuki GSR 750. TRW Sinter Brake Pads were awarded a MOTORRADFAHRER RECOMMENDATION.

"The sintered metal brake pads from TRW transform the toothless GSR braking system into a real stopper". A must-have for this motorbike because, after fitting new pads, you can easily operate the GSR lever with two fingers into the ABS control range. When slowing down, the bite increases with rising temperature, so it is not too aggressive at first, which makes these pads suitable for everyday use. TRW thus offers the perfect brake pad composition for the vexed issue of the GSR brake."

Issue 5-2012

"Dream Machines" magazine tested nine brake pads in its 5/2012 issue. Lucas TRW sintered metal brake pads were awarded a BEST BUY recommendation. The following features were give special mention:
